Something Else by Good Charlotte is a song that I like in some ways because it is about how every one wants something else no matter what they might have. It also is talking about how you can be any thing you want to be no matter what your …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

For so long, Shania Twain was all the rage, in country and pop music both. Shania Twain: Come on Over CD contains so many of the early hits. Of course, just about everything she recorded early on was a hit. Man! I Feel Like a Woman, …

One of my most anticipated album release this year is probably Halsey’s “BADLANDS”. Just so you guys know, BADLANDS is a concept album that talks about the bad sides of a human being, hence the title.

Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records
As far as I can see, Lil’ Kim is the only rap artist I have across who doesn’t favor having too many singles and music videos out from an album. “Hardcore” had “No Time”, “Crush On You”, and “Not Tonight”; “The Notorious K.I.M.” …

I first heard about Kings of Leon right around when they came on the scene which, I believe, was back in 2005. The first video I saw of theirs was “Four Kicks”. I liked the song’s kind of punchy, in your face sound, and the video was all around …

The Abandoned Hospital Ship is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their album Clouds Taste Metallic. The track opens up with Coyne coming in with the vocal delivery immediately and singing in front of a subtle piano playing behind him. In my opinion, the track sounds …

The music was good, but how the mighty Dixie Chicks have fallen. Years back, they became country music outcasts, right in the middle of being huge successes. They made some untoward comments about then President George Bush. It was their end singing country. I believe …

The song Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunn reminds me of something sung by at true red neck from the backwoods. It has a certain swinging beat that will drive you to stomp your foot or tap you finger to the restless beat. This type of music has a …

This was the record that introduced me to Cypress Hill, and I liked it a lot back when I started listening to it, and I still think that it is a very good record. In actual fact, even now, when I have heard all the Cypress Hill records, and …

The rock band U2’s album, The Joshua Tree, is a spectacular moment in music. The Joshua Tree has songs that reach our heart, yet they are not preachy or boring. Bono, the lead singer of U2, wears his heart on his sleeve for this particular album. The Joshua Tree …

Trust me, this album is very special. I remember how I listened to this album for the first time, and how I was impressed by what I heard. I liked the debut album by U2, called Boy. I did not like the second album, October, at all. But then …

Chris Norman may not exactly be a household name these days, but let me assure you that no matter who you are there is a good chance that you have heard at least one or two of his songs in your life. The main one would be LIVING NEXT …

“Dead By Bong” is the 5th song off of Cannabis Corpse album “Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise” which was released in 2011. It was produced by Erik Rutan of “Hate Eternal” fame and whom I might add produced some of “Cannibal Corpse” newer albums. In other words, it …

I like this album a lot. And there are numerous reasons for it. I think that Korn managed to intensify their emotional strength on this album. Their previous album was rather dark, and very aggressive, of course, and it dealt rather well with serious emotional subjects. This album does …

It was my first time to hear Melissa How on this song as she leads the song Nothing Holding Back. It was one of the most favorite songs I have which the band Jesus Culture started.
The song started on the cymbals of the drummer as it counts the introduction …

Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist.

“Be Without You”
Performer: Mary J. Blige
